But if it appears to him that the defaulter does not reside in that area—

a

subsection (1) does not apply to him; but

b

he must cause the certificate to be sent to the person appearing to him to be the F2designated officer for the local justice area in which the defaulter resides .

3

A F3designated officer registering a sum under this section for enforcement as a fine, must give the defaulter notice of the registration.

The notice must—

b

give the information with respect to the offence, and the authority for registration, which was included in the registration certificate under section 8.

If a sum is registered in a magistrates’ court as a result of this section, any enactment referring (in whatever terms) to a fine imposed, or other sum adjudged to be paid, on conviction by such a court applies as if the registered sum were a fine imposed by that court on the conviction of the defaulter on the date on which the sum was registered.
